"We are very pleased to be added to the MSCI US REIT Index and view this as another important recognition of our transformation from a finance company to a well followed self-storage equity REIT," stated John Good, Chief Executive Officer of Jernigan Capital, Inc. "We look forward to this event as a catalyst for a broader group of institutional investors to join us as significant shareholders in our company."
